hi kristin near triestre there is a international hi school for student of all country main lenguagge of teacking is english good for every sport basket soccer etc etc and people is more open that u tell
We lived near Naples for 3 years, moved back to the USA, and last year bought a small place north of Rome in the small town of Orte. Couldn’t be happier!!!
Just got back from a month long trip to Italy. The Amalfi Coast was spectacular, as well as Venice and the lake district in northern Italy. And the Dolomites... wow. Then there's the food, cool architecture, the museums and the Roman ruins. And the people are so nice. This country is beyond spectacular.
Thanks, Kristine! The best places in Italy are small towns well connected with big cities. You can find lovely, affordable accommodation, excellent and authentic food, stunning views, and fewer tourists. Treviso, in the Veneto region, is one example. In the Friuli region, as you mentioned, you can appreciate San Daniele, Cormons, Cividale, Grado... Italy is rich in incredible places close to each other.
I want to add around Brescia , Lombardia ( small towns ) You'll have around you mountains, Garda lake, and city. Distance can be 30 minutes drive just to Lake and city so the must could be living in the middle ❤

Lots of helpful info here, thanks for sharing! As usual, the information is very well presented. Would be great if you also have information about places in Southern Italy, as they have lower cost of living.
Hi Kristin, I live nearby Florence a place where you can find art, history, countryside, seaside and mountains you can easily reach. There are several things to do! Of course we cannot compare it with big capitals but Florence is quite a vibrant international city and Tuscany is beautiful :) I like your channel, thanks for sharing your insights 👏
I am from the province of Turin and I couldn't change my region, Piedmont, with any other italian region. I love Turin so much, it is nice and a livable city. Thank you for sharing
Trieste, 12:55: I think notable is the fact that this was _for centuries_ the main port of the Austrian-Hungarian empire, and that history is a legacy of this city, very much present today. This makes Triest a truly unique place, and I wish you would have mentioned that.
Wow! 😮 This is great, Kristin! Thanks so much for all of this information. I love hearing about the cities off the beaten path that are still affordable. 🎊💗 🇮🇹
Great segment on Italy, Kristin. Glad you featured Verona. I lived there with my girlfriend(from Verona) off and on for 2 years and it is an ideal city for living, working and playing, and nicely located for weekend getaways to other nearby locales. Benevenuto a Miami ancora - after your last few years abroad. Buona Fortuna! Ciao Ciao!
Bologna is also a good choice for automobile enthusiasts as both Ferrari, Lamborghini and Pagani are located nearby! Ferrari and Lamborghini have museums to visit and offer factory tours as well.
Love the quality and abundant information you provide in these videos. Thank you. We will be contacting you when we're ready to move to Portugal. (maybe Italy, since I lived close to Napoli for 13 years.
Glad you mention Le Marche , a part of Italy often overlooked even by italians , your video is the most accurate I'e ever seen by an english speaker , I agree 100% in your rewiew Complimenti , Ciao da Fermo - Marche .
Im not surprised Udine is #1. My family is from Sequals, 35 minutes away. The Friuli region is very underrated. I will be retiring in Sequals in about 8-10 years. You also have San Daniele Del Friuli right there where the best prosciutto in the world comes from
Wow! I love Italy so much! It's a country with so beautiful landscape! Though language is an issue, we can communicate through language translator as a temporary solution. But learning Italian is so important in the long run if thinking of a permanent settlement. Florence and Rome are two of my favorite places.! Though each town has something to offer for everyone.! And Kristin..you're looking ravishingly beautiful.!👌
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! 😊 Italy truly is stunning with its incredible landscapes and vibrant culture. I agree, learning Italian is definitely a great way to immerse yourself fully and enjoy the local experience. I appreciate your kind words-thanks for watching and for your support! 🌟🇮🇹
Great video, Kristen! And great recommendation on Rosetta Stone: 17 years ago, I was in a local bar talking to a retired American citizenship judge who had been coming to Mexico since the 1950s. When I told her I was planning to recommence my Spanish studies (for the nth time), she said: "Do not waste your time with any of that stuff! Just go to the tiangi and buy Rosetta Stone." 100 pesos ( US $5 for 210 lessons in Level 1 & 2) and I was fully competent in basic Spanish within several months. Best 5 bucks I ever spent, and best language learning advice I ever got. Moral: Do not try to figure stuff out on your own?!? Instead, go to the bar and talk to expat old-timers!
Thanks for sharing your experience! 😊 It’s amazing how effective Rosetta Stone was for you, and it’s great advice to learn from those who’ve been through it. No worries about the name-everyone makes mistakes. Cheers! 🥂📚
One possible downside ; most Rentals require a four year Lease ( from what I've heard ) a 3 mo. deposit and you must have residency . if you go on a Tourist Visa you can only stay for 90 days then leave for 90 days . a bit complicated , imo . otherwise it sounds wonderful and very affordable . Thank you Kristin .
My first impression of Rome when we arrived, it was quite hot and when we arrived at our Airbnb, I felt like we were dropped off in the middle of an alley by our Uber. Towards the late afternoon/early evening people came out and it started to get quite lively and we enjoyed it more as the evening progressed. Yes I saw quite a bit of trash from the prior evening, but their streets and sanitation was out in force cleaning up and preparing the upcoming evening’s festivities. The Amalfi coast we absolutely enjoyed! We are contemplating going back next year. But I think I need to put Croatia into play for next year. Already been to Italy twice.
Going twice to Italy is not enough, Rome isn't typical, nor Amalfi-- both are unique but many gorgeous off the beaten path places to explore. I think Italy has the most UNESCO World Heritage sites than any other country. Different foods based on each season varying wines & liqueurs...really a gem of a country esp if you are visiting.
@@TravelingwithKristin We were thinking the Italian Riveria. Fly into Nice then either drive or take the train. But after seeing your post yesterday ( I was actually watching Motor Yacht Loon they were on their way to Croatia from Amalfi) it got me to thinking there are tons of other places to visit and we should check out those places first.
@@YogaBlissDance Totally Agree! My first trip I was in the military and spent 3 weeks stationed at a Airbase just outside of Pisa. Another bonus was my cousin (his dad was as U.S. serviceman my uncle) was born and raised there. Every weekend he would pick me up and take me all over (mostly in the pitch black dark and I didn't know where we were going). I met his friends, he showed me the life he lived, I HAD A BLAST!!! The day I left I went up thru the crew hatch of the plane we were flying home and saw my commanding officer (he knew me by name). He asked me if I was ready to go home? I told him no, and almost asked if I could stay another week.
Thank you for this info. I like all your videos, they provide good information. You've had so many amazing adventures with all your travels; I admire your tenacity. I wish I'd traveled & seen the world much more.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you find the videos helpful. It's never too late to start exploring and seeing the world-each adventure adds a new chapter to your story. Wishing you the best on any future travels you might embark on! 🌍✈️
Good video but there are several inaccuracies. For exemple Verona’s sheet is uncorrect (region and department). Turin is not the capital of renaissance: it’s the main centre of Italian Risorgimento, the political and social movement that took to the italian state unity in the XIX century; and Nutella and Ferrero venue is Alba, not Turin … excuse me
Hi Kristin, my wife and I are planning to move and retire in Italy in about two years. what should we do to start preparing now? I assume learning the language and determining where to live would be a couple top priorities? It sounds like owning a car is difficult in Italy, can you give more details? Thanks! Mark & Carmen
I kept waiting for the number one announcement of Lecce. Imagine my surprise when you rolled out Udine 😅 I would have bet my left arm Lecce was on your list somewhere. Thanks, Kristin, but you really should check out Puglia 🙂
Thanks for your video. Just a small correction: David is in Florence, but not at the Uffizi. It's at the Accademia Gallery. However, wherever you go in Florence, you can't go wrong. I jist was hoping for different recommendations, away for the major turistic center. I will keep checking your videos. Thanks.😊
Have you ever covered in a video where you store your stuff when you move outside of the US? Or do you just get rid of everything? I am planning on moving and looking at storage units as my family is nowhere close. Would love some tips on what people usually do.
What I have noticed is that you seem to always go to major cities, If you're going to do Europe... rent a car and get out into the REAL country and not just those tourist cess pits, train systems are great in Europe and there are extensions from wonderful smaller towns and cities that are much more livable and you don't even have to find a place to park in that madhouse if you want to go visit the Big Cities. I would only visit the big cities in the winter when most of them get back to the locals and most of foreigners have gone home.
As an lnvesting enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?
I think the safest strategy is to diversify investments. Like spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k
This is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? I'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation
My CFA NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further... She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
Kristin, thanks for this helpful guide. I hate to bring it up, but the final quick fact sheet on Verona has some errors on the top bullet point items. It looks like you may not have updated your points from the Rome slide. Nevertheless, I gained a lot of helpful information from your video. Thank you, again.
Driving in Italy isn't that complicated depending on the region you live in. You need a good knowledge of Italian to begin with (B1-B2 level). Although I have heard some regions give the exam in English; however, I wasn't that lucky. Getting a driving license is divided into two parts. The first is a written test with some tricky questions. I spent a summer studying for the exam while we went to the beach. My son found it a lot of fun quizzing me.. Once you pass the written test you get the "pink paper" which allows you to drive with a licensed driver who has a valid Italian license and has been driving for 10 years. After passing the written test you need to take a practical exam. (Note: most Italian cars used to be manual shift only; however, this has changed lately.) The second part of your examine with be a practical exam where you will have to drive with a state examiner. This will have to be coordinated through a driving school which have cars that you will have to take your exam in which... are normally manual shift. Organizing this I had to do one driving lesson with the school which cost me 50 euro for one hour just so the school could see I was able to drive and the instructor passed on some of the tricks the examiners used to fail students e.g. a hidden stop sign that people roll through, a steep bend near a school area where you had to downshift to slow down as you turned upwards without stalling. This was the best 50 euro I ever spent and well worth it. Once you pass this second part you have your driver license. A friend once told me that we study for the driving exam then forget the rules after we get it.
You and I might not work, because when you were in the home, I would be doing an one arm handstand on my board inside of the curl of the biggest wave in the history of the world. Be well!
take a car and make a circle over whole Italy, including Sicily and Sardinia, and you will definitely find your place ranking in the video is not comprehensive, also some locations like Positano can be absolutely empty outside the summer season (all is closed)
Il sud italia dov'è? La Calabria, la Sicilia con le sue isole, la Sardegna sono molto più belle con la loro storia e la loro cultura millenaria, la loro bellezza paesaggistica.
,,,,,, Kristin, parlando e gesticolando, con, mani e braccia e mettento in atto,,,,,, (,,, Lo Sai fare benissimo,,,) tutta la tua Bella Femminilita',,,, beh KRISTINE,,,,, cosi fai innamorare tutta L'ITALIA!!! 🌹🌹🌹♥️🇮🇹💋👍🙋♂️
Just wondering why on Earth you would recommend the Amalfi Coast? It's fine for a vacation but you would have to be out of your mind to live there. There are no services and it takes forever to get anywhere. Prices are exaggerated and there is NOTHING to do other than shop for linen and lemon soap.
Italy is a very good place to live...North and South America, other EU countries and parts of Asia have a higher criminality..there are problems also in Italy but not so many as in other places
You're wrong!! As an Italian living in Milan, I can tell you that due to the fact that we have so many illegal immigrants Italy the criminality has been increased in the latest five years. Expect in Milan, which is considered the most dangerous city in Italy.
Who else NEEDS a cappuccino and a moment after watching this video?! Oh my. I think heaven must look just like Italy. I am willing to do sinful things to get back there.
So many nice suggestions if I wanted to move there. Unfortunately when you can't walk too far or the terrain is rugged...Italy is highly questionable. Lovely country tho.
Italy is indeed beautiful, but I can see how rugged terrain could be a challenge if mobility is an issue. Hopefully, you find a place that suits your needs and offers a lovely lifestyle! 🌟🌍
OMG did I contact or message months ago saying hey "do something on Italy..." so excited to watch this! Italy is a bit of a diva with it's bureaucracy. I'm training my patience skills already. ITS' NORMAL to understand more than you can speak on the language learning journey! Active vs passive knowledge.
Maybe cause my bad English I didn't understand well, how does a person live in Rome on $1,000? Also includes house rent, utility bills, food? Probably even if you go to live very far from the city center you can't make it (of course, let's not talk then about have a car or getting out 1-2 times a week). Sorry, I don't want to make issues, I'd just like to understand, what I missed? PS I'm Roman and I live in Rome.
Im also Roman and this claim is totally wrong she also mentioned that you can find a 2 bedroom apartment outside of the city center for 900$ per month. She does not have a clue of the real prices in residential areas
How bout the weather? Guess what, it's humid as hell in Tuscany in the summer. It's no fun doing outdoor activities in this humidity, you'll need to shower multiple times a day
I would suggest Cagliari in Sardinia, a very lovely city and you have the beach Poetto, as well as hundreds of beaches all around the city. You just wake up in the morning and if you want you go to the beach, then go to restaurants and enjoy the city, shopping, etc. Even Vicenza in Veneto is very nice...then Bolzano, Trento, etc In Sardinia, you can have the highest quality of life in Italy. I am Sardinian/Venetian...lived in many Italian places but never found the same Quality of life I've found in Sardinia...and Florence was teh WORST place I have lived in Italy(Florentines are very racist) The singer/Poet Fabrizio De Andre' said about Sardinia 'Life in Sardinia is perhaps the best that a man could wish for twenty-four thousand kilometres of forests, countryside, coasts immersed in a miraculous sea should coincide with what I would advise the good Lord to give us as Paradise'
I am a student from India who wanted to study in another country for citizenship. In the future I wanted to become an Investor ( Stocks, Currency, Real estate, Business).but didn't want to give 50% in taxes. Which countries are suitable for me ?
Riguardo alle Marche, non so davvero chi sia il "locale" che ha detto questo: Evidentemente non è mai andato a teatro (le Marche sono conosciute come la regione dei cento teatri) o non frequenta i numerosi locali da ballo o i bar. Se poi nevica, passano gli spazza -neve, come ovunque!
@@TravelingwithKristinthe Italians don't think picking pockets is a crime. They are doing little to stop it and don't prosecute the criminals. UsS Embassy reports having to process 350 t0 400 passports per day. 😑 and that's just passports of americans not billfold and many other countries 🙄 It's redickulous, love rome but Roman's don't care about us.
Grazie dei video Però mi scusi ma Firenze e Bologna clima sub tropicale ????? forse c'è caldo umido a Luglio e ad Agosto ma certamente d'inverno le temperature sono prossime se non piu basse di 0°. Inoltre le città del nord come Verona Torino e Trieste non hanno un clima proprio mediterraneo ma molto simile alle Svizzera o all'Austria o regioni alpine. Forse ripeto lei parla di Luglio ed Agosto. Inoltre Caserta non è nel Lazio bensì in Campania. Grazie dei suoi contributi
10 - The Amalfi Coast, merely a stone's throw from Campi Flegrei (an active 'Supervolcano'), and 1 - Udine, one of the most seismically active areas with a history of very devastating earthquakes. Think twice before trusting such rankings ;)

As an lnvesting enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?
I think the safest strategy is to diversify investments. Like spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k
This is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? I'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation
My CFA NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further... She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
Just ran an online search on her name and came across her websiite; pretty well educated. thank you for sharing.
What about Genoa? My friends visited and loved it.
Kristin, thanks for this helpful guide. I hate to bring it up, but the final quick fact sheet on Verona has some errors on the top bullet point items. It looks like you may not have updated your points from the Rome slide. Nevertheless, I gained a lot of helpful information from your video. Thank you, again.
Hi there! Thank you so much for pointing that out. I appreciate the feedback. Thanks again for watching! 😊
Driving in Italy isn't that complicated depending on the region you live in. You need a good knowledge of Italian to begin with (B1-B2 level). Although I have heard some regions give the exam in English; however, I wasn't that lucky. Getting a driving license is divided into two parts. The first is a written test with some tricky questions. I spent a summer studying for the exam while we went to the beach. My son found it a lot of fun quizzing me.. Once you pass the written test you get the "pink paper" which allows you to drive with a licensed driver who has a valid Italian license and has been driving for 10 years. After passing the written test you need to take a practical exam. (Note: most Italian cars used to be manual shift only; however, this has changed lately.) The second part of your examine with be a practical exam where you will have to drive with a state examiner. This will have to be coordinated through a driving school which have cars that you will have to take your exam in which... are normally manual shift. Organizing this I had to do one driving lesson with the school which cost me 50 euro for one hour just so the school could see I was able to drive and the instructor passed on some of the tricks the examiners used to fail students e.g. a hidden stop sign that people roll through, a steep bend near a school area where you had to downshift to slow down as you turned upwards without stalling. This was the best 50 euro I ever spent and well worth it. Once you pass this second part you have your driver license. A friend once told me that we study for the driving exam then forget the rules after we get it.
I suggest to checkout Viterbo and its area
FYI, Verona in not in Lazio, but Veneto region
You and I might not work, because when you were in the home, I would be doing an one arm handstand on my board inside of the curl of the biggest wave in the history of the world. Be well!
Why you didn’t mention Liguria? It’s just 2 hours by train from Milano . I’m thinking about Santa Margherita, Rapallo and etc
YOU need to do one on middle and southern ITALY.
Thanks for the request! Sadly the cities in southern Italy rank lower overall but we can still do a "best of the south" :)
@@TravelingwithKristin Great idea! Lots of cool places there too!
How does Le Marche rate on Earthquake risk?
"Relocation Expert" mwah 😂
Much thanks
10 Amalfi coast
9 Florence

5 Turin
4 Perugia
3 Marche
2 Bologna
1 Udine
Thank you!
take a car and make a circle over whole Italy, including Sicily and Sardinia, and you will definitely find your place
ranking in the video is not comprehensive, also some locations like Positano can be absolutely empty outside the summer season (all is closed)
Il sud italia dov'è? La Calabria, la Sicilia con le sue isole, la Sardegna sono molto più belle con la loro storia e la loro cultura millenaria, la loro bellezza paesaggistica.
Dillo Senza piangere 😂😂😂😂😂
I love Italy so much I wish God would give me the tawafi someday
ciao sa Treviso... thks
,,,,,, Kristin, parlando e gesticolando, con, mani e braccia e mettento in atto,,,,,, (,,, Lo Sai fare benissimo,,,) tutta la tua Bella Femminilita',,,, beh KRISTINE,,,,, cosi fai innamorare tutta L'ITALIA!!! 🌹🌹🌹♥️🇮🇹💋👍🙋♂️
Agree!
Ancona, Sirolo, Senigallia
Just wondering why on Earth you would recommend the Amalfi Coast? It's fine for a vacation but you would have to be out of your mind to live there. There are no services and it takes forever to get anywhere. Prices are exaggerated and there is NOTHING to do other than shop for linen and lemon soap.
how do I "travel with Kristen" personally? 🙂
I will be holding a retreat each year. Sign up for updates at www.travelingwithkristin.com/subscribe
@@TravelingwithKristin Ooooooo! :-)
Italy is a very good place to live...North and South America, other EU countries and parts of Asia have a higher criminality..there are problems also in Italy but not so many as in other places
You're wrong!! As an Italian living in Milan, I can tell you that due to the fact that we have so many illegal immigrants Italy the criminality has been increased in the latest five years. Expect in Milan, which is considered the most dangerous city in Italy.
Who else NEEDS a cappuccino and a moment after watching this video?! Oh my.
I think heaven must look just like Italy. I am willing to do sinful things to get back there.
So many nice suggestions if I wanted to move there. Unfortunately when you can't walk too far or the terrain is rugged...Italy is highly questionable. Lovely country tho.
Italy is indeed beautiful, but I can see how rugged terrain could be a challenge if mobility is an issue. Hopefully, you find a place that suits your needs and offers a lovely lifestyle! 🌟🌍
How can u say the cost of living in Romer area is so high. Am I misunderstanding?
Kinda if an old fashion lonely planet guide lol
OMG did I contact or message months ago saying hey "do something on Italy..." so excited to watch this! Italy is a bit of a diva with it's bureaucracy. I'm training my patience skills already. ITS' NORMAL to understand more than you can speak on the language learning journey! Active vs passive knowledge.
Yes I promised we would make this video! ;) Patience is definitely helpful with the bureaucracy
Maybe cause my bad English I didn't understand well, how does a person live in Rome on $1,000? Also includes house rent, utility bills, food? Probably even if you go to live very far from the city center you can't make it (of course, let's not talk then about have a car or getting out 1-2 times a week).
Sorry, I don't want to make issues, I'd just like to understand, what I missed?
PS I'm Roman and I live in Rome.
Im also Roman and this claim is totally wrong she also mentioned that you can find a 2 bedroom apartment outside of the city center for 900$ per month. She does not have a clue of the real prices in residential areas
How bout the weather? Guess what, it's humid as hell in Tuscany in the summer. It's no fun doing outdoor activities in this humidity, you'll need to shower multiple times a day
I would suggest Cagliari in Sardinia, a very lovely city and you have the beach Poetto, as well as hundreds of beaches all around the city. You just wake up in the morning and if you want you go to the beach, then go to restaurants and enjoy the city, shopping, etc. Even Vicenza in Veneto is very nice...then Bolzano, Trento, etc
In Sardinia, you can have the highest quality of life in Italy. I am Sardinian/Venetian...lived in many Italian places but never found the same
Quality of life I've found in Sardinia...and Florence was teh WORST place I have lived in Italy(Florentines are very racist)
The singer/Poet Fabrizio De Andre' said about Sardinia 'Life in Sardinia is perhaps the best that a man could wish for twenty-four thousand kilometres of forests, countryside, coasts immersed in a miraculous sea should coincide with what I would advise the good Lord to give us as Paradise'
Kriistin. CASERTA is located in the CAMPANIA REGION, NOT in Lazio.
I am a student from India who wanted to study in another country for citizenship.
In the future I wanted to become an Investor ( Stocks, Currency, Real estate, Business).but didn't want to give 50% in taxes. Which countries are suitable for me ?
I would like to live in Italy I don't know the process on how to do it
WARNING: there is a typo at 26:49. Verona is not in Lazio but in Veneto
Se avessi bisogno d’una macchina, troverei un bel ❤ amico italiano ad aiutarmi!
Riguardo alle Marche, non so davvero chi sia il "locale" che ha detto questo: Evidentemente non è mai andato a teatro (le Marche sono conosciute come la regione dei cento teatri) o non frequenta i numerosi locali da ballo o i bar. Se poi nevica, passano gli spazza -neve, come ovunque!
Rome was full of scammers and pickpockets. It was really sad. Such a beautiful place.
Sorry you had that experience!
@@TravelingwithKristinthe Italians don't think picking pockets is a crime. They are doing little to stop it and don't prosecute the criminals. UsS Embassy reports having to process 350 t0 400 passports per day. 😑 and that's just passports of americans not billfold and many other countries 🙄
It's redickulous, love rome but Roman's don't care about us.
Don't go during high season- go on shoulder season and it won't be as hot, crowded and smelly.
Lol, don't go to Naples, makes Rome look tame
@@alex14111 🤯
Come on over!
#7 @10:43 it's northeastern instead of northwestern...
no Milano?
Grazie dei video
Però mi scusi ma Firenze e Bologna clima sub tropicale ????? forse c'è caldo umido a Luglio e ad Agosto ma certamente d'inverno le temperature sono prossime se non piu basse di 0°. Inoltre le città del nord come Verona Torino e Trieste non hanno un clima proprio mediterraneo ma molto simile alle Svizzera o all'Austria o regioni alpine. Forse ripeto lei parla di Luglio ed Agosto. Inoltre Caserta non è nel Lazio bensì in Campania. Grazie dei suoi contributi

Difficult to choose spot number one to live in Italy with the amount of little beautiful city it offer , but certainly not Udine.......
Italian here, the taxes are extremely high and we live not so good, also the government is ruining the country and buying anything is expensive
❤Milan
What's the best place to look for apartments for digital nomads?
❤🇮🇹🔝
Should be titled Best Places to Live in Northern Italy.
10 - The Amalfi Coast, merely a stone's throw from Campi Flegrei (an active 'Supervolcano'), and 1 - Udine, one of the most seismically active areas with a history of very devastating earthquakes. Think twice before trusting such rankings ;)
😂😂😂😂 i Campi Flegrei sono distanti 100/150 chilometri da Amalfi. I grandi terremoti si ripetono nello stesso posto dopo migliaia di anni
